New Volvo FHs premiere at events haulier R Jameson

Marlow-based R Jameson Event Transport has put two new Volvo FH 500 Globetrotter XL 4×2 tractor units on the road, marking the first time the company has ordered new trucks from the Swedish manufacturer.

The two new FHs expand the operator’s fleet to 19 vehicles.

“The product quality on offer is remarkable, especially in the cab, while the technology now available in the Volvo FH is superb,” said business owner, Richard Jameson.

“It all makes for a super enjoyable driving experience that really stands out from the competition.”

Each truck is powered by a Euro 6 D13K Step E engine, producing 500 bhp and a peak torque of 2500 Nm. They are driven by Volvo’s automated 12-speed I-Shift gearbox.

As R Jameson’s work takes its drivers across the UK and into Europe, the new Volvos have been specified firmly with driver comfort in mind.

The Globetrotter XL cabs have been fitted with a Drive+ package, adding dual armrests on both driver and passenger seats, electrically controlled roof hatch and adjustable steering wheel with neck tilt.

The trucks also include ample storage space with 245-litres on offer in the rear of the cab, a 33-litre fridge, a microwave, two bottle holders and a premium 50mm mattress overlay protector, all courtesy of a one-bed Living+ package.

A suspended and heated driver’s seat is installed, complementing the trucks’ full air suspension for a smooth and comfortable ride.

Volvo’s overnight air conditioning system – I-Park Cool – has also been selected to ensure R Jameson’s drivers can sleep at their chosen temperature overnight whatever the weather, without impacting fuel consumption.
